2019 Prado Enea Gran Reserva Bodegas Muga Rioja 0,75l

A benchmark of traditional Rioja, 2019 Prado Enea Gran Reserva combines ripe fruit and elegant structure with the depth that comes from extended ageing. One of Bodegas Muga’s most prestigious wines, it is made only in vintages considered suitable for the style and reflects Rioja’s long tradition of gracefully aged reds.

Tasting Notes
Deep and concentrated, with an expressive nose of black cherry, raspberry, redcurrant and dark plum. With air, classic mature-Rioja notes emerge: tobacco, cedar, dried herbs, liquorice, leather and orange peel, alongside hints of black tea, woodland and balsamic spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet silk-textured, balancing generous red and dark fruit with lively acidity and fine, mature tannins. The long, nuanced finish brings together cherry, plum, tobacco and dried herbs. Its structure and freshness suggest excellent potential to develop over many years, gaining further savoury and tertiary complexity with bottle age.

Production
The grapes come from selected vineyards in western Rioja Alta, including the Prado Enea area, where high-altitude sites, calcareous clay soils and Atlantic influence encourage gradual ripening and help preserve freshness. Tempranillo leads the blend, complemented by Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. The fruit is hand-harvested and carefully selected, fermented in large wooden vats and macerated for an extended period to extract colour, aroma and tannin gently. The wine then spends at least 36 months in oak barrels and a further 36 months in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–17°C in a large Bordeaux glass. Give the wine time to open; decanting before serving can help reveal its layered aromas. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, braised beef, venison, duck breast or veal cheeks, as well as dishes featuring porcini, truffle or Mediterranean herbs. A well-aged Manchego or another mature hard cheese makes a fine match.

Producer
Bodegas Muga is based in Haro, in the heart of Rioja Alta, and is known here for a distinctive approach to classic Rioja. Prado Enea is one of the house’s most prestigious bottlings, prized for its extended ageing, balance and capacity to mature over time. The winery releases it only in vintages it considers suitable for this long-lived Gran Reserva style.
